The issues of Hellblazer I did with Paul Jenkins twenty years ago are being collected at last. The first collection is out now, and the next will be out in January with a new cover by me...
Here's the some in progress process shots of the first Hellblazer cover I've painted since 1998. After doing a couple of digital sketches in Manga Studio, I got my paints out and did the final painting in acrylics on illustration board. The painting in about 45cm tall.

I've had a few enquiries as to what music was playing during the burlesque drawing event with myself and Rian Hughes and the beautiful Cherie Bebe at The Lakes International Comic Art Festival in Kendal last weekend. Here's the tracklisting for the hour...
Great music to draw by!

To
celebrate the return of CRIMINAL to print, BRUBAKER & PHILLIPS
return to their award-winning title for the first time in years for a
48-page special sure the thrill their readers, old and new alike!

It's
1976, and Teeg Lawless is doing 30 days in county jail with a price on
his head, his only safe company from the savagery a beat-up old comic
magazine his dead cellmate left behind. It's CRIMINAL like you've never
seen it before, with a comic within the comic and all those slick ‘70s
thrills!

"Brubaker and Phillips are the gold standard of the crime graphic novel." – Warren Ellis

As
an added bonus—and due to the overwhelmingly positive response to the
magazine-size variant of THE FADE OUT—the CRIMINAL SPECIAL EDITION will
also be released in a Savage Edition, a variant in the style of
magazine-size comics of the ‘70s!

The
bestselling crime series returns to print in strikingly-designed new
editions from Image, starting where it all began: CRIMINAL, VOL. 1:
COWARD—a new take on noir that turned the heist story on its head and
created a whole new underworld for BRUBAKER & PHILLIPS to explore.

BRUBAKER
& PHILLIPS' recent series FATALE and The FADE OUT have brought
their work to a wider audience of new readers, and now is the perfect
time to show them the work that made the award-winning team's
reputation!

"Brubaker and Phillips' books have always been about eight years ahead of their time." —Brian K. Vaughan
